I often ask for & get paid in cash and I do declare it. I simply prefer
cash because it 'clears' instantly allowing me access to the funds
straight away. Why it still takes 4 working days to clear a cheque in the
year 2006 is beyond me.

Just in case you really want to know....

Fine olde world way of doing that isn't it. So why can't they scan the
cheque when its paid in, and transact with the paying bank for there and
then authorisation?......
